STIGMATA OF THE COSMOS VI: THE PATH OF SHATTERED LIGHT, Ziqi Yu, 2025

€0.00

This work, The Path of Shattered Light, reveals the struggle of light between destruction and rebirth. The red fissure that winds upward is both the trace of a torn soul and the lightning of divinity rending through time. The artist abandons compositional balance, instead using fracture as a metaphysical gesture to expose the rift of existence and the pain inherent in illumination.


The confrontation between crimson and ink-black is a dialogue between fire and ash, belief and void. The black smoke is not representational but psychological - a projection of doubt, fear, and self-negation. The red appears as a spiritual ignition, bursting beyond rational boundaries, imbuing the work with a near-mystical tension.


Technically, the artist employs layered diffusion and dry-wet alternation, creating softened boundaries within the paper’s fibers. This ambiguity of edges symbolizes the spiritual conflict itself - light attempting to infiltrate darkness, while darkness is reborn within the light.

Medium : Digital on Canvas , Wood

Dimensions : 59.1x39.4 in | 150×100 cm
